HVAC Maintenance – Why Is It Important

HVAC maintenance (preventative maintenance) can help you avoid major problems from occurring in your system, such as unit failures, electrical sparks from worn wires, or polluted air from unchanged filters.

For residential homes, we encourage you to schedule a PM for your systems every 6 months. This will help ensure your HVAC system is running for all the different seasons with no surprise breakdowns.

As for commercial buildings, we recommend quarterly or 6 month PMs on your commercial systems.

Preventative Maintenance – What It Includes

During a preventative maintenance checkup, the technician inspects your HVAC system from the circuits all the way down to the caps and valves (which include control panels, motors, capacitors, fans, drain lines, filters, and pumps).

We offer our services to clean your HVAC unit in addition to regularly scheduled preventative maintenance. This cleaning includes but not limited to:

  • Coils
  • Blower Motors
  • Ignitors
  • Grilles
  • Drain Lines/Pans
  • Filters

Note, we do not clean ductwork.

It’s also important to note that if you have gas heat in your home or business, it is crucial to have your system maintained on a regular basis. This will not only keep you safe from toxic gases but also keep you comfortable.

We want to provide you with comfort that you can count on whether it’s hot or cold.

At Eldridge Services we provide both residential and commercial preventative maintenance contracts at fair yet competitive prices.

    Back Comfortable in No Time! Mid June – on one of the hottest days, the AC went out completely. I have been using another provider for years, but decided to switch… read more it up and call Eldridge Services. Although they weren’t able to come out same day ( I guess everyone got hit at the same time), they let me know that they could have a tech out first thing in the morning. The 2 techs, Ryan and Dalton, were amazing! They were kind, courteous and prompt! Within less than 15 mins, the A/C was back on, with the temps being in the upper 90s, we were overjoyed. With having an older unit, most companies tend to stray away from or push replacement; however, Ryan and Dalton assured me that age was no issue and that they would get it back on in no time. Which is exactly what they did! The repair cost was reasonable, they explained what happened, the part that needed to be replaced and why. They were very thorough in their explanation and answered all questions that I had – including future service(s) needed. They also drained and carried the portable AC unit upstairs for storage. Quite the gentlemen for sure! As a first time customer, I am highly impressed with the professionalism & workmanship provided; will certainly use Eldridge Services going forward.
